I feel your pain, for now
I used to live in town and had a Cable modem, talk about fast. Then my wife and I got this crazy idea we wanted to get away from having neighbors a stones throw away. So, we built a house about 3 years ago on 2.5 acres. Ok, so we still have neighbors, but 400-500ft away is still better than 20ft.
Anyway, back to the internet stuff, I now only get 24kbs connection at the best, really sucks. Fast forward to May, since everyone in our development hates dial up, I called Qwest DSL, and talked to the regional mgr for the area. Not sure how I did it, but they are currently installing a remote station near us that will extend DSL service to our area. May 23rd is the date they gave us, dang I'm excited now.
They have two options available, 256K up/down or 1.5MB/768K up/down for about $30 and $40 bucks/mth respectivley.
I'm going to try to talk the wife into the faster plan, but the slower one will be like light speed, compared to my current pathetic dial up.
